Waterdeep: Dragon Heist Expanded [Lvl 2-10][New Players Welcome]
Waterdeep teeters on chaos—Four deadly villains race to steal a hidden hoard of half a million gold. The Sword Coast's future hangs in the balance.
About the adventure
The city is alive, and it listens. In Waterdeep, every deal whispers through the alleys, every smile hides a dagger, and every coin tossed into a fountain echoes with old secrets. This is a city of lords and lowlifes, masked rulers and hidden vaults, where ambition is the real currency—and it’s always in short supply. The greatest treasure in the city’s history is up for grabs. But four villains, not merely one, have their eyes on it, and the streets will run slick with schemes before the gold ever sees the light. To survive here is to play the game. To win is to change Waterdeep forever. If you're looking for... 💰 Schemes, Secrets, and Shadowy Power Plays Delve into an intrigue-heavy campaign filled with double-dealing, faction rivalries, and city politics where every choice matters and nothing is as it seems. 🎭 Colorful NPCs and Living Roleplay Meet a cast of unforgettable characters—from pathetic nobles to criminal masterminds—brought to life in a setting that rewards clever dialogue and sharp insight. 🏙️ A Rich and Dynamic Urban Sandbox Explore the great city of Waterdeep with complete freedom, where districts shift in mood and opportunity, and every tavern, guildhall, or back alley might hold your fortune—or your doom. Then Waterdeep: Dragon Heist is your next great adventure.

Good dm like the gnome voices
Veigatta
Very in depth into the mechanics and workable, if there are any issues just make sure to discuss it and you can hammer anything out Just make sure to set time boundaries, can end up running late night
Nine Nine
Excellent DM, so many fun character interactions and encounters, I've coughed up a lung so many times as 2 characters argued over nothing, I've watched another player stun him with some silly response as he rolls with it, He's set up some of the most absurd character introductions as I laugh so hard my nose bleeds. 10/10 would crash out again
Derpling Sunset
Really good DM, works with your backstory to implement in campaign for character stuff, sets up funny stuff, good with boss fights
Kris
Finished Water Deep Dragon Heist with McLoyf and had a good time. Brought the game together well and made the villains stand out from one another. Played for a year and he stuck with it.

Good pacing of games and never feels we are stagnating in a single point, unless its combat but that's kinda expected for all games.
Character creation
Creating your character
📘 2024 Ruleset We’ll be using the updated 2024 D&D rules for a fresh and balanced experience. If a subclass, spell, or race doesn’t have a 2024 version yet, feel free to use the 2014 one instead. 🎲 Stat Generation You’ll roll two stat arrays using the !randchar command twice on our Discord server. If luck isn’t on your side, Point Buy is available as a safety net. ⚖️ Balance Over Brutality Powergaming in moderation is totally fine—there’s fun in making a strong build! Just remember: the goal is to create a well-rounded, engaging character, not just a numbers-driven damage dealer. You'll shine more when you're part of the story, not just dominating the battlefield.
We have a party consisting of a Rogue, Sorcerer, Monk, and two Fighters. They have just gotten into a bar fight with some Xanathar Guild thugs and have gotten a quest by the famous, or rather infamous, Volothamp Geddarm! This is just on the fringes of the module, and a great place to join. Character creation and meta conversations about the setting and campaign will happen on discord before your first session. New players welcome and encouraged!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will be required to have microphones, Roll20 accounts, and Discord to participate. Discord can be downloaded for a smoother experience compared to the browser version. Character concepts are great for preparation. We will work together to get the details translated into a D&D character prior to session. Here are the invite links, if any don't work just message me on this site and I'll get you in. Roll20: https://app.roll20.net/join/19568852/b_ve7g Discord: https://discord.gg/D2ahTnSV3u
What DM McLoyf brings to the table
What You Can Expect 🎲 Full access to every official D&D 5E book 🎨 Custom character and NPC art to bring the story to life 🎵 Hand-curated music to set the mood and elevate every scene 🗺️ High-quality battlemaps for immersive exploration and combat 🃏 Character cards styled after Critical Role for visual flair and clarity My GM Style I run a fair, immersive game where rules matter—but the story always comes first. Expect a rules-as-written foundation with flexibility for cinematic moments and creative problem-solving. Combat is fast-paced, strategic, and meaningful—your choices matter, and your spotlight time is respected. Whether you're a veteran player or brand new to the game, I’m here to guide, entertain, and collaborate with you every step of the way.
Homebrew rules
🗡️ The Mortal Choice System Death isn't the end—at least not right away. When a character is about to die, they’re granted a selection of final choices to choose from, offering a heroic sendoff or dramatic twist that honors their journey. 💪 Classic Grappling (2014 Rules) We’re keeping the original contested check system for grappling. It feels more interactive and rewarding for martial characters who specialize in control and physicality. 🎵 Bard Buffs Bards get a little extra love: they retain Song of Rest from 2014 and are the only class with access to Silvery Barbs—making them as impactful as they are inspiring.

Safety
How DM McLoyf creates a safe table
🎬 Free Session Zero Before we begin, I offer a one-on-one Session Zero with each player. It’s a chance to talk through expectations, tone, themes, and character ideas. My games explore both the heroic and the harrowing, and this onboarding helps ensure everyone feels informed and comfortable from the very start—without adding extra time to your schedule. 🫱 Post-Session Check-Ins After each session, I’ll check in—especially after major moments or emotional beats. It’s a simple way to stay connected and make sure everyone feels heard, supported, and excited for what’s next. ⏸️ Breaks & Refunds Sessions include short 5–10 minute breaks in the middle. If something unexpected forces a major delay or cancellation on my part (say, spontaneous food poisoning), I’ll issue a refund. Your time and experience matter.
